Biggest Losers of the Economic Crisis

There is no doubt this economic crisis has or will hit every american at some point in time and in some fashion or another.  As it does, we all have to sacrifice something.  It's those extra dollars we are so generous with in this country that are being conserved or lost.  The heart wrenching part of this is the charities that were/are the beneficiaries of those coveted dollars are now unable to serve those thousands of causes.

There is one company that has devised a program that we can all participate in that will provide funds to our favorite charities/causes without adding any additional outlay of cash from you or me.  The company is call Shop Wurld.  It provides individuals an opportunity to make some money and help charities at the same time.  The concept is easy....purchase things from very large and established companies (like Starbucks and iTunes) online and they will pay a commission that gets shared by those in the network.  Yes it is multi-level marketing, but there is no commitment to spend/invest any money for inventory or marketing, you aren't selling anything and you aren't spending money you weren't going to spend any way.  If you sign-up a charity then they get the benefit from the money all of their constituents normally spend as long as they spend it online through Shop Wurld.  This is truly a no brainer!

Membership is by invitation only so consider this your invitation, now go do something good.  Sign up at www.shopwurld.com and use this code ZWQSAH to register.  If  you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to contact me.  Not many things are free, and this isn't either, you actually have to be proactive, but you don't have to try and convince someone of buying the next magic potion!

Share The Knowledge

One of the most important things we can do to help our organizations, associates, employees, and any one else we care about is to share what we know with them.  After all, that is what teaching is.  At R&A we have recently taken this to a new level.  Just this month, our efforts in an international collaboration with other CPA firms went "live".

R&A is a member of an international organization that teaches CPA firms how to provide consulting services to small and mid-sized businesses.  This group provides us with phenomenal training and "best practice" tools and techniques to deliver these services.  With Ran One's

assistance, a group of about 12 CPA firms from across the globe launched a new website to assist business all around the world during the horrific economic crisis.  Please visit the site at http://www.economicrecoveryresourcecenter.com.  The information on this site is as valuable as you can find any where.

Keep the American dream alive, stay focused and use the resources around.  We are all in the same boat, and we all need each other to make it through to better days!
